We gave you the details first on the “Yes Man” soundtrack, the new Jim Carrey comedy that looks like, well, a wacky Jim Carrey comedy. The film is scored by the L.A. bittersweet indie-pop group (one-man-band) The Eels (in collaboration with Lyle Workman who did the music for “Superbad”) , and the film contains 8 previously released Eels songs, plus one new one entitled, “Man Up.” We have the clip below, it’s a predictably sweet and tender little number like all of the Eels’ work.
The film also stars Zooey Deschanel as the flick’s love interest and with the help of San Franciscan electropunk trio, Von Iva, she plays in the film’s fictional synth band, Munchausen By Proxy. The trio wrote 4 new songs, all of which are included on the film’s soundtrack that comes out December 9 via Lakeshore records. We have some snippets of Munchausen featuring Deschanel below. It sounds like fun synth pop and we’re looking forward to hearing the whole things, silly throw-away lyrics aside.
